Abstract
Dermatofibroma is a very frequent lesion that usually appears as a slowly growing nodule in the dermis, and preferentially involves the lower extremities of women. Several clinical variants have been described. Giant dermatofibroma has been defined as a rare variant of dermatofibroma measuring more than 5 cm that presents typical histological features and a benign biological behavior. We report the case of a 52-year-old man that presented a giant dermatofibroma with a diameter of 6 cm in the right shoulder and we review the few cases of this variant that have been described in the literature.
